Did you know that drowning, a leading cause of accidental death in the UK, over 400 people die from drowning annually, with 62% of accidental drownings happen in inland water.
There’s some great advice from Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service – Water safety – to help stay safe and understand water dangers.
What to do if someone falls into deep water – Call 999 for help, and encourage the person in the water to try and float on their back.
